The statement "unemployment is not supposed to be added to income to affect eligibilty for EITC" is wrong (some of the time).
ALL your income affects eligibility for EITC, if your total income is over a certain level (see line 5 on the worksheet)
Use the EITC worksheet to calculate the EITC yourself. This is the same worksheet Turbotax uses. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="
